If you\u2019re using Windows 10 type Notepad in the taskbar search and click on Notepad (Desktop app) when it appears at the top. On any version of Windows, you can open Notepad this way:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open a run command (Windows Key + R)<\/li>\n<li>Type Notepad in the run box<\/li>\n<li>Press enter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When Notepad is open you\u2019ll see its icon in the taskbar. Now middle-click the Notepad icon \u2013 you\u2019ll see that it opens a brand new instance of Notepad. You can do this again and again (don\u2019t get crazy) and each time you middle-click on its taskbar icon a new instance of Notepad will open.<\/p>\n<p>See?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2018\/middle-click.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows tips and tricks\" width=\"567\" height=\"554\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can see that I have 4 Notepad windows open, I\u2019m working in window #1. By middle-clicking the Notepad icon on my taskbar, I can open as many new Notepad windows as I want. Geeky people call this opening new instances. Take your choice.<\/p>\n<p>If you think your mouse wheel is not a middle click button, try pressing down on it quickly \u2013 like you would your left and right mouse buttons. Most of you will find that your mouse\u2019s scroll wheel doubles as\u00a0 middle mouse button. The mouse I\u2019m using right now is just $15 cheapie. It&#8217;s Walmart wireless mouse \u2013 and the wheel doubles as a middle mouse button even on this inexpensive mouse.<\/p>\n<p>This trick not only works for Notepad, but many other programs as well. It will work with any program that lets you open multiple instances. If you have an icon on your taskbar for Chrome, middle-click it \u2013 a brand new Chrome window will open. Most of you have a File Explorer (Windows Explorer) icon on your taskbar \u2013 if you middle-click it, a brand new File Explorer (Windows Explorer) window opens. You can do this with a lot of programs- but not all. Some programs allow only one instance to run at a time. So, experiement. Try the middle-click trick right now and open multiple instance of programs with a middle-click.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mouse Middle-click Trick If you have a mouse with a middle button or a scroll wheel, you have a middle-click option you may not have known about.
